[khmer] Fwd: How to speed up the filter-below-abund script ?

Hi Eric,

I've tried all the suggestions you made
But same result (see attached e/o file)

But with the help of David (the system engineer of the lab) I think we 
have found the bug :
  ==> filter-below-abund.py fills a directory ( 
/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2013-03-14-10\:24\:13-26642.new/ coredump/) until 
it reaches all the available space.  (see below)
==> Then it crashes

Is there a way to modify this ?

Thanks again

Alexis
